'Reintroducing the "British" London Mod and Punk movements for
today's pissed off and bored generation' Krakatoa basically came about due to
the passionless, meaningless, music scene of today. So four mates who love beer
football and pie n mash, got together and started to write songs about things
that actually mean something to them. Hopefully you can relate to the material
and understand.

Offical Review
"Up next, KRAKATOA. With their sharp, bright punky/modish sound, the biting vocals ripped through the aggressive wall of guitar to deliver a set packed full of great songs. Humorous, down to earth lyrics were delivered in great style by their very watch able front man - who's attention seemed to wander all over the place when he wasn't actually singing. Massively catchy, dare I say anthemic choruses were slammed home again and again by the bassist, drummer and two guitarists, and given that extra push by the vocals, which transform this band into something else. Yes, they did put me in mind of early Oasis - but not so much because of their sound, although they do share common roots, but because of the attitude with which this band perform. They are not slavish copyists - they do what they do because they want to, because this is what it sounds like, and if you don't like it ....... (fill in your own expression )"
